Yeah it's some kind of Lenovo thing. Went to a repair shop they changed the HDD because the old one was apparently dead and installed Windows because they don't have anything else. I haven't even used Windows ever.
Does Windows boot? I know it’s not ideal but since you’re unable to boot into a Linux ISO you could consider running the filesystems checks from Windows. I’ve never done something like that but I know tools like Paragon exist. I’m not sure if WSL would be capable of checking them, but that could be another option (I haven’t used Windows in years).
Thanks for all the help, really appreciate it. Took it to a repair shop and they replaced the HDD, old one was broken, and installed Windows on it.
Ohh, gotcha. You’re welcome!!
